~ J.B. Hutto & The Houserockers ~
Self-Titled Privately Pressed Live Lp

released c. '60s/early '70s (?) by Baron Records # 101

incredibly Rare & Obscure deep groove Privately Pressed
vinyl Lp (on on what appears to have been either his own
label, or a small unknown local Melrose, Massachusetts label)
by this legendary Chicago Blues Slide Guitar player backed here
by the Houserockers who we are pretty sure are the former
backing band of Hound Dog Taylor including guitarist
Brewer Phillips and drummer Ted Harvey

J. B. Hutto recorded for Chance back in the
early 1950s and this artist also performed & recorded
under the name J.B. Hutto And The New Hawks

this Lp has no artwork & the labels don't give much
info, but we did find a single posting about what appears
to be this same as this titled Live at Sandy's Jazz Revue
(see photos for an example of what the cover for this
is THOUGHT to look like - cover not included here)

~ condition ~


record is in Excellent Condition* and has been
fully play tested and it sounds fantastic and plays with
no skips, repeats or bad noise & has just a touch of mellow
crackle at the start of each side & has shiny clean vinyl
with just light wear (there is one visible scratch* but it doesn't
interfere with the sound in any way) & has shiny clean
mostly wear-free labels with no writing or markings
but one side has a very small discolored spot
from where a price sticker was removed

cover is not included in this auction (as-found)
and we're not sure this LP even really came with a cover?

displays & plays awesomely

~ J. B. Hutto ~


along with Hound Dog Taylor, J.B. Hutto was one of
the last great slide guitar disciples of Elmore James to
make it into the modern age. Hutto's huge voice, largely
incomprehensible diction, and slash-and-burn playing
was Chicago blues with a fierce, raw edge all its own

he started out in Augusta, Georgia singing in the
family-oriented group the Golden Crowns Gospel Singers
and moved to Chicago in the mid-'40s where he taught himself
guitar & became a member of Johnny Ferguson & His Twisters
until 1954 when he recorded for the Chance label with his own
combo the Hawks (featuring George Mayweather on harmonica
Porkchop Hines on washboard traps, and Joe Custom on rhythm
guitar) but a lack of success led Hutto to seek work outside the
music business until resurfacing around 1964 working regularly
at Turner's Blue Lounge playing blistering blues & finally became
a full-time bluesman touring & recording for small labels and
in 1976 he "inherited" his now dead friend Hound Dog Taylor's
backup band the Houserockers who never formally recorded
in a studio, but this collaboration of Hutto with guitarist Brewer
Phillips and drummer Ted Harvey produced legendary live shows
that would musically careen from smolderingly intense to utter
chaos. Hutto went on to settle in Boston where he performed
extensively as the "New Hawks" recording & touring America
and Europe until his death in the mid-1980s

Hutto was an incredibly dynamic live performer who dressed
in hot pink suits with headgear ranging from a shriner's fez to
high-plains drifters' hats, snaking through the crowd & dancing
on tabletops with his 50-foot guitar cord stretched to the max
and this good-time approach to the music held sway on his
recordings as well, giving a loose, barroom feel to almost
all of them, regardless of who was backing him

~ Our Record Condition Guide ~


since everyone has their own ideas about grading the condition
of records, we've decided to spell out how we do it. our descriptions are
also extremely thorough & individually note flaws that a generic condition grade
cannot. we also occasionally assign a + and - for in-between grades

Mint

perfect, never played & usually still factory sealed

Near Mint

nearly perfect with almost no signs of handling

Excellent

the slightest visual wear that in no way interferes with the sound

 Very Good +

light visible signs of handling & wear but well taken care of
and plays with only mellow occasional crackle and/or soft pops but 
nothing interfering with enjoying the record/artwork

Very Good

obviously used & handled, but not mishandled, with no skips,
repeats or bad noise, but with noticeable crackle, pops & soft tics or
artwork defects, but nothing too bad overall

 Very Good -

considerable visible wear & background noise with possible
skips, repeats, tics and cover flaws, but still enjoyable & would
be obviously well-used and somewhat mishandled

So-So

anything below VG- which we rarely sell, except
for really rare records that are worth listing only because
they're so hard to find & sought-after in any condition

Disclaimer

not everyone's turntable sounds & functions the same 
but we have a nice sensitive set-up that makes flaws very obvious to us
and we try to note everything we ear and see. while vinyl is an awesome sounding format,
there is almost always some sort of background noise while listening to a record.
we are just about as picky as anyone, so trust us
but be sure to read our descriptions carefully!
